In Point Breeze

It was a little more than a month ago that we told about plans from developer Turloque Hart to build three new homes on 17th Street between Titan and Latona, on a lot that recently looked like the Amazon.

In the time that's passed since then, the project has moved along

On Wednesday, the ZBA approved a plan for outdoor seating in a garden area behind American Sardine Bar at 18th & Federal. Coming into the hearing, John Longacre, owner of the bar and garden, was concerned that this approval would not come before the summer months rolled around. Just one

A couple of weeks ago, we gave you the heads up that Breezy's Cafe was coming soon to 2011 Reed St., a commercial space that was most recently a bobo Pizzeria Uno. At the time, we expressed excitement at the prospect of a new business coming to Point Breeze, but

When we last checked in on the 2000 block of Annin Street in Point Breeze, three homes were being framed out on the block, and two more were going up right on the other side of 20th Street. A month later, framing is finished on the three homes, and bricks

Fundamental Investment Group LLC purchased 1925, 1930, and 1944 Titan St. a couple of years ago. From what we can tell, two of the homes have

A reader gave us the heads up that 1308-10 Point Breeze Ave. is currently under construction. This structure, while blighted, is located at a prominent intersection on Point Breeze Avenue and has a remarkably intact cornice for a property that's missing most of its windows. Most recently, the building was home

In August, a long-vacant commercial space and a trash-strewn lot became a shiny new cafe and a landscaped garden space at 20th & Federal. In the months since, two new residential projects have sprouted from the ground in the immediate vicinity, and are progressing at roughly the same pace. We've
